How to make Spinach Dip?
This easy spinach dip is only 7 ingredients, and can be heated up in the microwave or in the oven. You’ll need cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, parmesan cheese, colby jack cheese, garlic, and salt.
How to cook fresh Spinach?
First you’ll need to cook your spinach. You can saute or steam the spinach. If you are using baby spinach you can use the whole leaf, if you’re using regular spinach you might want to remove the stems to make the leaves more tender.
To saute the spinach, you’ll just add the spinach to to a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted.
You can also add the spinach to a steamer, by boiling water, and topping the pot with a steamer insert, and cook the spinach in the steamer for 2-3 minutes or until tender.
After the spinach is cooked you will want to squeeze the liquid out of the spinach with your hands, or wrap the spinach in paper towels to wring out the moisture.
Chop your spinach into bite sized pieces.
Add your cream cheese, sour cream, cooked spinach, parmesan, colby jack, garlic and salt to a small (microwave safe) bowl and stir to combine everything together. Microwave the dip at half power for 3 minutes, or instead transfer the dip into a small oven safe baking dish or skillet. If you want to bake the dip, you will bake it in the oven for about 20 minutes till it’s nice and bubbly and hot throughout.
Serve the dip with your choice of dippers.
